Chart Dog 2.0 is an interactive site that allows the user to load information into a graphing program to visually display progress monitoring data for a student or group of students. This web-based graphing tool can be used with behavior or academic data and may be helpful for an educator learning to display data in a graphic format.
This document is the Florida Center for Reading Research’s ongoing progress monitoring guide. FCRR provides guidance for determining instructional reading levels and monitoring progress using DIBELS data. The guide includes Steps and Decision Rules flowcharts for grades 1 – 3.
A comprehensive online introduction to RtI, designed for state and district personnel (including administrators, specialists, teachers, and student services personnel) parent organizations, and institutions of higher education.
Florida’s RtI:B database is an online data system that supports MTSS for behavior.

This page appears on the Florida Center for Reading Research website. The Progress Monitoring and Reporting Network (PMRN) is a web-based data management system for recording and reporting student assessment data. The PMRN stores, organizes, and generates descriptive reports based on DIBELS data that can be used to plan reading instruction and to evaluate progress.
This page appears on the Florida Center for Reading Research’s website. FCRR provides links to presentations and documents that focus on using data to guide instruction. Topics include developing school-based reading assessment plans and using Progress Monitoring Reporting Network reports.
In this brief, authors Joseph Torgesen, Jane Granger Meadows, and Patricia Howard discuss how objective student performance data can guide, focus, and set priorities for the professional development of teachers. The authors list key issues to using data for these purposes and discuss DIBELS specifically. They provide strategies to be used concurrently with professional development in order to improve reading outcomes.
